Looking for advise on 440 6BBL Shaker fresh air door cable and brackets,

[Brillos]

I have a 1971 Cuda 440-6, with Shaker Scoop, I need the retainer clip for the upper cable that goes into the scoop and attaches to the air doors. When I try to hook up cables they look to be too long and if I push cable in to correct length the Air knob sticks out under the dash. I have two sets of cables one from Year One and the second from Classic Ind. both the same. I have checked several resources but cannot find anyone that shows the clip. I did find a picture from an original Chrysler catalog that shows the clip but does not identify it as a separate part. Anyone have any suggestions on locating the clip and where I am going wrong on the cables.

Mega Parts has them they are the same as a heater cable clip if you have any of those spare.
The inner or outer cable is probably just a fraction to long or too short. They do not have to be a lot out to be a problem.
Quite tricky to sort out can you set it so it looks acceptable?

Thanks Steve I appreciate the tip, I'll contact Mega Parts.

Cool because those cables push and pull they are extremely tough and hard to modify.
You may be able to shift a mounting point inside the shaker = maybe you do not want to mod anything?
I had a close look at your photo and can not come up with anything useful.
You might just have to live with it.
